The Unnaturalists by Tiffany Trent
4.0
So, about this book. I'm not really sure what to write. I did like the setting, the plot and the general feel of the book.
One of the two main characters; Vespa, I did understand that she was in a way bound by her social status/setting so she couldn't do what she wanted, pour her whole being into the museum and science. For her being used to use her brain in the work at the museum she comes out a bit daft at times. Not doing the connection between the frog and her powers and other stuff. The ending with her father was also a bit, "huh" even with him being manipulated by the grue, shouldn't he have felt anything for his own daughter?
I'm hoping the next book in the series will have some answers.
What I don't really get are others calling this book muddled..I thought it was pretty clear.
I also read that the tinkers were based on a asian people and not "gypsies".
I liked that that the love was not instant, I recognized it as a teenage love, that kind that doesn't need a lot of getting to know each other, it's based on other premises, but it would be nice to see them develop it into something more like "real love" in the next book.
Uhg, my brain is too tired to make sense right now.
